"You shouldn't have been idle in the month since the first victim appeared, right?" Alice said, pulling up a chair and sitting directly across from Eryan Yuzo, with only a small coffee table between the two, "Tell me about your findings." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

"First of all, the investigation of the crime scene...... I'm sorry to tell you that nothing came of it. ”

"In other words, didn't the murderer leave even a trace of it?" Alice asked.

"No, not at all, fingerprints, footprints, saliva, hair...... No clues were left that would have helped track down the killer. In the entire scene, there was only one body that was too clean. "Even the professionals transferred from the prefecture said that they had never seen such a clean scene. ”

"What else?"

"Other than that...... Anyway, the murderer in this case is a vampire, right?" asked Kura suddenly.

"There's absolutely no mistake!" At this time, Marisa and Reimu changed their clothes and came over, and Marisa, who had seen the corpse with her own eyes, replied first, "I know two or three vampires, and no one can do this method of killing except for their vampires!"

The clothes they had worn had been washed and had not yet dried, so they were wearing the new clothes. Marisa wears a white ruffled dress with a black trench coat over it, a pair of leather gloves on her hands, and her magic hat on her head. Reimu, on the other hand, changed into a red and white dress, looking a bit like the long-lost eldest sister of the Scarlett sisters.

"Oh, so you know a lot about vampires?" asked Yuzo again.

"Haha, what's the matter!" Marisa touched her nose and smiled, "It's not just 'very knowing', I'm an expert, okay, expert!"

"I thought for a moment that you had become humble......" Reimu sighed as she propped her forehead.

"Oh, expert, it looks like the old man has found the right person this time!" said with a smile, "In that case, I'm going to test you, what are the things vampires fear the most?"

"Sunlight, ripples, machine guns!" Marisa blurted out.

"Those two things in the back are weird!" Reimu complained as she slapped Marisa on the back.

"Ahaha, that's an interesting answer!" "Anyway, the first answer, Sunshine, did you think of this with the old man?"

"What do you mean by that?" asked Alice.

At that time, the old man who couldn't find any clues at the scene thought that since it was a vampire who committed the crime, he had to start with the characteristics of the vampire itself. "Well, I've never seen a mythical creature like a vampire, so I don't know as much as you do, but even so, I know ......."

"Vampires are creatures that fear the sun, so they are bound to be nocturnal. This pattern of behavior dictates that they only have 12 hours a day to go outside, and if the sun comes out and does not find a place to hide from the sun, it is dead. ”

"At this point, the question is, where is the best place to hide from the sun on Sado Island?"

"City daze!" Marisa snapped up.

"Yes, that's what the old man thinks, too. "If you want to hide a tree, put it in the forest." For vampires whose appearance is indistinguishable from that of a human, mixing in human society is the best way to hide. There is shelter during the day, endless food at night, and it is almost impossible to detect. ”

"Even if you know this, it's hard to find, is it?" said Alice, "as far as I can see, there are not a thousand houses in this town, but eight hundred, do you?

"No!" replied to him very dryly, "it is precisely because there is no reason that the old man has exhausted all kinds of light and dark means, and even transformed into small creatures such as flies and mosquitoes, and searched every building in this town from house to house. ”

"It can be done, you're awesome!" Marisa sighed.

"Well, what happened? I guess I didn't find anything?" asked Alice.

"As you might expect, I didn't find anything. "Actually, even the abandoned houses in the suburbs, the barns in the farmland, the gas towns on the side of the road, and even the towns next door, the old decay have been searched, but I haven't seen a single vampire hair." ”

And while the old man was working hard to conduct a carpet search, the murderer was not idle for a moment, and killed several people in this town, as if he was laughing at the old man's incompetence. "Oh......" she sighed, and added:

"If the old man is still like back then, with thousands of subordinates to send, how can he let such a guy who doesn't even dare to go out during the day be allowed to go wild on the old territory!"

"Pull it down, what's the use of talking about it now!" Reimu waved his hand and said, "The point is, we have to design a battle plan that the four of us can execute, and then pull out that vampire and kill him, isn't it?"

"That's right!" said Yuzo.

"Alright, Alice, what's the plan?" asked Reimu.

"I thought for a moment you had a plan...... Marisa sighed as she propped her forehead.

"I still have a question," Alice ignored Reimu and asked to Zozo, "You said that there were five serial murders, so do you know the exact location of these five crime scenes?"

"Of course I do!"

As soon as the words fell, Yuzang raised his hand and slapped it on the table of the coffee table, only to hear the sound of "pop", and a detailed map slowly appeared on the glass surface.

I saw that on the map, the left is yellow and the right is blue, and the blue part is marked with only one large character "sea", while the yellow part is a detailed overlook of the street and the house.

"Oh-," Marisa cried, "and that hand, tanuki are amazing!"

"Where, where, the decay is just turning the desktop into the appearance of a map. "Actually, the desktop is still the desktop, but it just has a 'face' of a map." ”

"These," Alice said, pointing to a red dot marked on the map, "where the crime took place?"

There were five of them, and they were scattered irregularly throughout the town.

"Yes, that's all, and then ......"

As he spoke, he snapped his fingers again, and a red circle appeared on the map.

"The part in the red circle is the area that the old man has searched. ”

The red circle was not large on the map, and when Lovely Liz looked closely, she saw that it had enclosed two small towns by the sea, as well as a large area around the town. And beyond the red circle, there are only wilderness and mountains.

"So you've searched most of the inhabited places around here?" asked Alice.

"Pretty much. ”

"Have you considered any outsiders?" asked Alice again, "is this a port city?"

"There's nothing you can do about it. Yuzo shook his head and said, "This Sado is also a good place for tourism and vacation, even in the off-season, there are thousands of tourists who come to visit and stay every day, let alone eighteen, how can this be investigated? However, the murderer should not have left this island, this old man dares to assert." ”

"Indeed," Alice nodded, "if you leave among the tourists, there will be no way to check it, and there will be no need to check it." And since it can continue to commit crimes, it means that it is still on this island. No...... Wait a minute!"

Alice suddenly slapped the table, stood up, and said loudly:

"I see! I've found the murderer's hideout! It's perfectly safe from all searches, it's dark enough to be close to the scene of the crime!"

"What?" "Yuzo also stood up and asked nervously, "Where is it, tell me about it!"

"I want to ...... No, if what you say is true, then I'm one hundred percent sure that the murderer has left the island!"

"This can't be!" said Yuzo, "in that case, why would it go out of his way to turn back and kill people, does it make any sense to a vampire who kills just to satisfy his appetite?"

"You listen to me," Alice continued, not answering the question of the hide, "though she left, but she didn't go far. It should be said that its hiding place during the day is not on this island at all!"

"That's still ...... Ahh

Yuzo glanced at the map, finally fixing his gaze on the blue area on the right. As soon as she saw the word "sea", she patted her head and suddenly realized.

"If you want to hide a tree, put it in the woods. The corners of Alice's mouth rose and she smiled heartily, "If you want to hide a drop of water, throw it into the sea!"
